The Senior, Junior and Social membership forms have been updated for the new season. You can complete them online or download & print them at home.

If you are completing a paper form, please ensure it says “Valid from August 2018" at the bottom. Older forms are obsolete and should be discarded.
Karen Brough is the new Junior & Social Membership convenor & her contact details along with Steven Bruce (Senior Memberships) & Olga Burton (Treasurer) can be found on the relevant forms or the club's Contacts Page.

Players / parents are reminded that they must also complete a SCRUMS registration in addition to completing a membership form.
Only paid up members of Orkney RFC who are SCRUMS registered will be able to play rugby this season.

Olga will be at the club tomorrow, 18th August during the Doddie Gump Fundraiser to help with any membership or SCRUMS enquiries.

In addition to the 5K walk, there will be Rugby, BBQ, Bouncy Castle & home bakes - so get along to the club from 12:30 for a great day out and get yourself & kids sorted for the upcoming season!

ALL PLAYERS: New SCRUMS Registration System

14/8/2018

Scottish Rugby have introduced a new player registration system called SCRUMS.
We are asking that all players are registered on the new system as soon as possible using the links below:

ALL PLAYERS must be registered with Orkney RFC before the start of the season
SENIOR Players are responsible for their own registration
PARENTS (or Guardians) are responsible for registering YOUTH Players aged 8 & over
If you were registered on the previous system, you must still confirm your registration on the new one
You will be sent a verification email upon registration - check your spam email box if you don't get it
The club cannot register players on the system
Failure to register means you will not be able to play rugby until you have done so
Ensure your Club Membership is up to date - details here

Relevant instruction videos, posters & links:

Well folks that's the Blue Door Week over and I would just like to thank all the Rugby Club Family for their donations and all the helpers who did a stint at the Blue Door.

New SCRUMS registration emails

5/6/2018

We have a new registration system with the SRU which is sending out emails to members to confirm their membership and it could be going in your spam / junk email boxes, meaning you might miss it.

Could all players / members who used the old SRU registration system please look out for any emails from the address below in your junk mailbox (or in the account you used to sign up if it is different than your usual email address), thanks.
